Core Tip This study highlights the potential of mirtazapine in treating refractory irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), particularly diarrhea-predominant IBS with comorbid depression. By integrating a systematic review with a detailed case report, our findings demonstrate that mirtazapine, combined with Rifaximin, a low fermentable oligosaccharide, disaccharide, monosaccharide, and polyol diet, and probiotics, significantly improves patient outcomes. This work emphasizes the importance of thorough diagnostic evaluation in IBS and supports further randomized controlled trials to confirm mirtazapine's efficacy.
